KENSINGTON ROAD have conquered the German charts with their last two albums, thrilled the national music press, are on rock radio stations all over Europe and can count themselves among the select circle of WDR Rockpalast bands. In spring 2024, the indie rockers will go on a major tour of Germany with their brand new album.
Keep your feet still? Stay cool? Only ice-cold types can do that with the songs of Berlin band KENSINGTON ROAD. Everyone else is immediately hooked by the band's modern, international sound, which skillfully bridges the gap between indie rock and alternative pop. Authentic songs with no frills or artifice - because after thousands of kilometers on the tour bus throughout Europe and countless live shows, the "hard-working band" knows exactly what they are singing about. Far removed from the usual rock clichés, the band lures the audience out of their shell with forward-driving energy and a passionate live show. Real, authentic, no bullshit.
" ... their recipe for success - crisp, modern, relatively unpolished rock sounds on the one hand and pop-affine, strong hooklines, power chords, melodies, grooves and stadium-ready sing-along choruses on the other..." (www.musikreviews.de)
" ... quite a few artists would probably have succumbed to the pop path of least resistance. Here, however, you don't have to look far for rough edges. And no heart and soul anyway." (www.handlemedown.de)
"This is rock in its most ecstatic form as hard physical work. They don't dig deep, they rock the house with elemental beauty. The band from Berlin is the best proof that even in times of loveless assembly line pop, there are always new groups that can inspire with unbridled intensity." (SWR)
"Electrifying songs with battle-hardened riffs, sparkling melodies and a high instrumental density. Original and thrilling - rock that's fun without being fun." (Kieler Nachrichten)
"The indie rock band is an absolute insider tip" (Kurier)
"Thrilling live music - sometimes loud and wild, sometimes melancholic" (Westfalenpost)<br>
